LAS VEGAS - After coming up on the wrong end of yet another split-decision result, UFC lightweight Clay Guida (25-10 MMA, 5-4 UFC) knows he must go back to the drawing board.

But with Saturday's loss to Diego Sanchez at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale in Las Vegas, Guida delivered his second "Fight of the Year" nominee in just 18 months. And for a fighter who's just 4-4 over his past eight fights, "The Carpenter" once again showed why he's welcome on any major fight card the UFC puts together.

What do you guys think about Guida vs. Sherk? I know he probably hasn't earned it yet in most people's eyes, but those are probably the two biggest cardio monsters in all of the UFC. I'd give a pretty heavy edge to Sherk going into it, but they could make it one hell of a fight between the two of them.
